Deteronòm 16

1 Lè mwa Abib la va rive, se pou nou fete fèt delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, paske se yon jou lannwit konsa, nan mwa Abib la, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.

Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

2 Pou fèt delivrans lan, n'a ofri bèf, kabrit ak mouton pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou yo adore l' la.

You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.

3 Lè n'ap manje vyann bèt nou touye pou mwen an, nou pa pou manje pen fèt ak ledven avè l'. Pandan sèt jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven, pen malere, paske se prese prese nou te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Konsa, n'a toujou chonje tout tray nou te pase jou nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la.

You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

4 Pandan sèt jou sa yo, pesonn nan peyi nou an pa gen dwa gen ledven lakay li. Epi nan vyann nou te ofri pou mwen nan aswè premye jou a, pa kite anyen pase nwit pou denmen maten.

No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

5 Nou p'ap gen dwa touye bèt nou ofri pou delivrans lan nan ankenn lavil Seyè a va ban nou pou nou rete.

You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.

6 Se va sèlman kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a n'a touye bèt delivrans lan nan aswè apre solèy fin kouche, paske se yon lè konsa nou te soti kite peyi Lejip.

You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.

7 N'a kwit vyann bèt nou te ofri a epi n'a manje l' kote Seyè a te chwazi a. Apre sa, nan maten, n'a vire do nou, n'a tounen lakay nou.

And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.

8 Pandan sis jou, n'a manje pen fèt san ledven. Sou setyèm jou a, n'a reyini tout moun pou fè gwo sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Jou sa a, nou p'ap fè ankenn travay.

For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

9 N'a konte sèt senmenn apre premye jou nou konmanse ranmase rekòt grenn nan jaden nou yo.

You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.

10 Apre sa, n'a fete Fèt Senmenn yo pou di Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mèsi. N'a pote ba li ofrann n'a vle dapre sa Seyè a va ban nou nan favè li.

And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,

11 N'a fè fèt devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, domestik nou yo, fanm kou gason, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv k'ap viv ansanm ak nou nan lavil kote nou rete a.

and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

12 N'a toujou chonje nou menm tou yon lè nou te esklav nan peyi Lejip. Se poutèt sa n'a toujou obeyi tout lwa sa yo.

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.

13 Lè n'a fin moulen grenn jaden nou yo, lè n'a fin kraze rezen nou yo, n'a fè fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou.

You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.

14 N'a pran kont plezi nou, nou menm, pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo, ansanm ak moun Levi yo ak moun lòt nasyon yo, timoun ki san papa ak fanm vèv ki rete nan lavil kote nou ye a.

And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

15 Pandan sèt jou, n'a fè fèt pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote li menm li te chwazi a, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou nan tout rekòt nou yo, ak nan tout travay nou yo pou nou te ka kontan nèt ale.

For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.

16 Twa fwa chak lanne, pou fèt Delivrans lan, pou fèt Premye Rekòt la ak pou fèt Joupa yo, chak gason nan peyi a va vin adore Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kote Seyè a te chwazi pou fè sèvis pou li a. Yo p'ap gen dwa vini de men vid.

Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.

17 Men, yo chak va bay kichòy, dapre benediksyon Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ba yo.

Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.

18 N'a mete jij ak majistra nan chak lavil Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va ban nou pou dirije tout branch fanmi nou yo. Y'a fè travay yo san patipri.

You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

19 Piga yo fè ankenn lenjistis. Piga yo gade sou figi moun pou jije yo. Piga yo pran lajan anba nan men pesonn paske lajan konsa ka anpeche menm moun ki gen konprann wè klè, li ka fè nou kondannen moun inonsan.

Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

20 Pa janm kite anyen anpeche nou rann jistis jan nou dwe fè l' la. Konsa, n'a kapab viv, n'a kapab pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an pou nou.

Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

21 Piga nou janm plante ankenn poto Achera ni ankenn pyebwa repozwa pou sèvi nou zidòl bò kote lòtèl n'ap bati pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,

22 Piga nou janm mete wòch kanpe pou fè sèvis zidòl. Seyè a pa vle wè bagay konsa menm.

and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
